The acting powerhouse died at 54 after suffering a cardiac arrest in Dubai

Acting legend Sridevi Kapoor died in Dubai at the age of 54. It was earlier reported that she dies after a massive cardiac arrest. But the forensic report issued a day later reported that she died of accidental drowning in her hotel bathtub after losing consciousness.

Born Shree Amma Yanger Ayyapan on August 13, 1963, the actress known simply as Sridevi was lauded as a superstar, dancer extraordinaire and comedy queen over her four-decade long career.

She was in Dubai where she was attending the wedding of her nephew Mohit Marwah. According to reports, her husband Boney Kapoor and daughter Khushi were with her when she died. Her eldest daughter Jhanvi poised to make her debut in Bollywood was in India.

From the age of four, she had worked in films in the Tamil, Telugu, Malaylam, Kannada and Hindi languages.
